Set the dock to be on the top of the screen, to always keep hidden, and to reappear if the cursor moves into a zone of 99x2; also to stretch to fill the whole screen. 2. When the dock is hidden, there still is a an invisible window with class Cairo-dock and geometry 1023x101+59+0 (my screen width is 1024 pixels) 3. This window is willing to take the focus, and thus may steal the focus from other windows if it overlaps them. I frankly don't see the purpose of this window, and I'm surprised other WMs don't have a problem with it. I therefore think this is a bug, and would appreciate your input on this issues.
